Scaly, Dimpled, Puckered Breast – Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group

Scaly, dimpled, puckered breast is a symptom that can be caused by a variety of factors, both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous).

Scaly, Dimpled, Puckered Breast

Common causes of scaly, dimpled, puckered breast include

  • Eczema: Eczema is a chronic skin condition that can cause the skin to become dry, itchy, and red. It can affect any part of the body, including the breasts. Eczema on the breasts can cause the skin to become scaly, dimpled, and puckered.
  • Paget’s disease of the breast: Paget’s disease of the breast is a rare form of breast cancer that starts in the skin of the nipple and areola. It can cause a variety of changes to the nipple and areola, including redness, crusting, scaling, and thickening of the skin.
  • Inflammatory breast cancer: Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that causes the skin of the breast to become red, swollen, and inflamed. It can also cause the skin to become scaly and dimpled.
  • Fat necrosis: Fat necrosis is a condition in which the fatty tissue in the breast dies. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including breast surgery, trauma, and radiation therapy. Fat necrosis can cause a lump in the breast, which can be accompanied by dimpling and puckering of the skin.
  • Other medical conditions: Other medical conditions that can cause scaly, dimpled, puckered breast include psoriasis, mast cell tumors, and breast infections.

If you notice any scaly, dimpled, or puckered skin on your breast, it is important to see a doctor to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will vary depending on the underlying cause. For example, if the changes are caused by eczema, treatment may include topical medications or corticosteroids. If the changes are caused by Paget’s disease of the breast, treatment will involve surgery to remove the affected breast tissue.
